He hit 24 of his 39 total home runs last season on the road while sporting a .605 slugging percentage and batted .364 with a .500 slugging percentage against the White Sox last season as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, Rooker is only hitting .205 so far this season, but last night was his first multi-hit game this month and we anticipate him parlaying that with some more power tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take <strong>Rooker to hit a home run at +390<\/strong> with <strong>Lawrence Butler (+480)<\/strong> and <strong>Tyler Soderstrom (+520)<\/strong> being other viable options to hit a home run in tonight\u2019s Athletics vs White Sox game as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Max Muncy (LAD) +480<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re picking on another Rockies starting pitcher tonight in German Marquez who starts at the Dodgers tonight and although he hasn\u2019t given up a home run in 15.2 innings pitched this season we think that streak comes to an end tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He allowed five earned runs in just 4.2 innings pitched in his last start at San Diego with Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy going 7-32 with four home runs against Marquez in his career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It hasn\u2019t been a great start for Muncy this season, but historically he\u2019s done better against righties and last season batted .246 with a .603 slugging percentage at home compared to just a .216 average and .369 slugging percentage in road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that Muncy has had some success against the Colorado bullpen as well going a combined 4-12 with two doubles and a home run against Scott Alexander and Jake Bird combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muncy had four home runs last April<\/strong> so let\u2019s take him to get <strong>his first of the season tonight against Colorado at +480<\/strong> odds with other Dodgers hitters to consider for a home run include <strong>Freddie Freeman (+400)<\/strong> and <strong>Teoscar Hernandez (+320)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_21582\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FSnGIEhY4m8?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Picks for April 16, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/FSnGIEhY4m8\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FSnGIEhY4m8\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Picks for April 16, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26be\ufe0f MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Picks for April 16, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond: Get MLB best bets, predictions, picks, and daily baseball betting tips from expert handicapper Drew Martin on Drew&#039;s Daily Diamond!
